11 Albums To Get Diamond Certification

Features

Measuring an artist’s success can be a numbers game. It’s one thing for an album to go gold or platinum, but to go diamond? Very few have had the honor. Yesterday, we celebrated the 10-year anniversary of Usher’s Confessions, one of the LPs to receive Diamond awards from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The award was implemented in 1999 for albums/singles that sell 10 million units. Confessions was certified on Nov. 7, 2008 after selling 10,017,000 records.
